My goal in this presentation will be to explore the impact the discoveries of modern molecular biology have had on our understanding of the history of life on earth. I will demonstrate using a fundamental assumption of evolutionary theory, that we can know in exquisite detail, the molecular biology of one of the earliest form of metazoan life for which we have a consonant record, the Trilobite. We will reconstruct some of the details of the molecular biology of the trilobite in order to build a case for the existence in the very first metazoan fossil of all of the major innovations represented by the spectrum of life on the earth today. In the absence of physical evidence for the evolution of complex systems and in the absence of evidence for any increase in the information content of existing complex systems, a belief in the theory of organic evolution remains a matter of pure faith. Lacking physical evidence for increase in information content of any complex system, another theory of explanation of origins - Special Creation - has scientific precedence because it does offer an explanation for origins that comports with the data.

Why should there be any form of creation at the basal Lower Cambrian?
